welcome to the musings of an amateur writer... I found i had alot i wanted to say and decided to record my observations and perceptions and snippets of my life, thoughts
" But I'm only
In the outskirts
And in the fringes
On the edge
And off the avenue
And if you want me
You can find me
Left of center
Wondering about you
Wondering about you"

About Me

Welcome her to all your fears and trust that she will cope. Give her one day of satisfaction for a thousand years of hope. Don't turn to dry your eyes, and lose your chance to look. 'Cause she's got 44 stories: she wants to write them in a book.
